[Freeswitch-users] Firewall mysteriously starts blocking calls to port 5060

[David Villasmil]

Hello,

I'd say this is a question for shorewall. But since you're here, is there
maybe some flood-prevention mechanism that would block it? Did you check
shorewall's log to try and find the reason it was blocked?
